It has some flaws but it achieves redemption through a good story and a great setting.
My confidence in Bioware was a bit shaken after playing Neverwinter Nights. I expected more from the main campaign but they failed to deliver "the goods". The good thing is I picked up Jade Empire and despite some doubtf... Read Full Review

I'll never understand the fascination with playing a movie.
The games I appreciate require me to think, which is why I prefer games over movies. I get bored if I'm not planning something, solving some puzzle, *thinking*. Jade Empire requires none of that. It's another boring, pre... Read Full Review

Good potential but missing essential RPG elements
I don't own a X-box and I had been dreaming and hoping that this game would come to pc. Lucky, my dream came true. However, the game is very disappointing,and is far from what i expected. I am a fan of KOTOR series, ho... Read Full Review

Bioware is one of the best storytellers of our time and Jade Empire is just another title that proves this true
It apparently has taken some time for me to play this and rate it, but as I have said before I enjoy going and playing great titles of old and seeing where they lie today. After finishing Mass Effect and just about every... Read Full Review

Great story, Great game.
In the beginning it looks like a simple 'hack and slash' RPG, but after a few minutes you realise: this isn't a simple game.. The story is amazing. You can see some great twists, but I don't want to tell you spoilers.. ... Read Full Review

Journey to the East
So, I finished Jade Empire last night, and I'm left both amazed and slightly disappointed. The game is perhaps more a role-playing game than any other game under the guise of an RPG, allowing the player to spend tons mor... Read Full Review

An unbalanced combat system, boring characters, and nonsensical story make this Bioware's least enjoyable RPG adventure.
I would like to preface this by saying: I love Bioware. I have grown up playing their games. I started with the original Baldur's Gate and eagerly await Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2. This game was beneath them. I rem... Read Full Review

Exciting and addictive....But maybe a bit short.
Another RPG game which is somewhat similar to Fable: The Lost Chapters. Fighting styles used in this game is highly entertaining. You get to know nearly most of the ancient martial art techniques. You have a list of peop... Read Full Review

Jade Empire features an impressive story and setting but unfortunately, rather simplified gameplay mechanics.
After recently playing Mass Effect PC, I decided to pick up BioWare's other action RPG, Jade Empire, which was released in 2005 for Xbox and ported to the PC in 2007. While it doesn't have that special spark that made St... Read Full Review
